looks sounds like one of the following : Massive vac leak, Ect Failure, timing off a tooth, Wrong injectors (idk), It almost sounds like its in limp mode (when the MAF is disconnected).

I was generous and reread your thread, which I recommend you doing, BC it seems like you have a long standing unresolved issue/s. Im guessing you have wiring/ vac issues under the dash...

-start by plugging the vac lines that run into the cabin
- Verify timing (which Im sure u have already)
-Check ECT resistance (bc if fouled it will constantly think its cold and add enrichment)
-Double check plugs
-The biggest thing I can see being an issue is your chipped ECU. Granted ive never had one, but LH in general needs to learn for a while, and i think even more so with chips.

It might be worth making a vac smoke machine tester or paying ~100 to have someone do it.
It would help not only me but you and others if you made a mod list of everything as it stands.
The more info you provide the more helpful I can be.

**** while ur at it rent a compression tester from a parts place.

I've looked for vac leaks multiple times and I'm pretty sure I've eliminated them all. Can't check timing due to lack of lower timing cover. As for ECU, if I'm correct, 2.2 is non-learning. All the chip does is add fuel during the onset of boost to prevent leaning out anyway. I've had a couple different ECUs in this thing and it runs the same no matter what. Injectors probably should be cleaned/replaced but it runs fine under throttle. Shaky idle is probably just the low compression. Still pulls hard, just spews a ton of oil out of the separator. (And lots of smoke, all the time.)

Drives, just not well. Shortened a 780 downpipe to fit since the old exhaust is really bad. It's about 2.5inch vs ~2inch on the old DP. I'll have to get a muffler for it. Needs some little stuff to make it more bearable, but I'm happy it drives. The heart of my old $200 240 lives on. (Until it chucks the rods.)

Drove it about an hour on the highway. Managed to leak engine oil, powersteering atf, and coolant. And it made this weird noise in boost. But the clutch slip seems to have gone away somehow. So that's good.

Zapped a flex pipe to the exhaust, putting in a new water pump, and ordered a rebuild kit for my spare T3 which (I think) leaks oil into the exhaust housing. Still need to take a look at the steering rack. I should also try and set the ignition timing, or something.

It broke again, 700 miles was too much for this engine. I'll compression test it later to confirm that it is indeed exploded. Started running a little funny and I noticed the boost gauge was super twitchy. Then I lost power. Then trying to get up to speed on the highway it suddenly let out a TON of smoke. Limped it about 60 miles, burping a cloud of smoke every time I lifted off. Felt kinda like it was only running on 3 most of the time. It's leaking oil, but I'm pretty sure the majority of the smoke is coming from the PCV.

Did a full throttle pull when I got close to my house but nothing left the engine block. I was only running wastegate pressure...

If the turbo glows red, that means it's got enough gas. Or maybe I have that backwards...

I think it might just be because the engine was so high miles and worn out. Check out this vid I took when I did the HG.

Also, because I totally expected this engine to blow up anyway, I was running a mix of whatever oil was in the garage. It probably has 3 or 4 different weights of oil in it.

I might hack the #2 lobes off an old M cam just to see how long it lasts on 3 cyl... Still gotta get around to rebuilding the '93 engine that was originally in the car. The block is actually in really nice shape. Couldn't see any signs of detonation and I was running 15psi when the piston cracked. (Didn't hurt the bore at all, amazingly.)

honestly don't get how you're managing to blow the motor up. I put an na 240 motor into my car with a 50 trim and have driven it from ct to florida and back with many miles inbetween and after. I've been running 20 psi you've got to be doing something wrong to manage to blow this thing up.
